Daffodils - Why is Jesus important to Christians?

The children in Daffodils recapped their knowledge of the Christmas Story - Who was baby Jesus? Why is he important? Who else was important in the story and why. We began to create some comic style recounts of the story, thinking carefully about the story sequence, what the characters might say and how they might look.  

Bluebells - Why do Christians perform Nativity plays at Christmas?

As a class, the Bluebells retold the Christmas story, taking on different roles and thinking about what the characters might have said and done. The Year Ones then retold the story using pictures and words. Reception children retold the story using pictures, playdough and playmobile.  (Reception storytelling below)
